For me, this is great Bond. The franchise has not had a good classic Bond romp since the 80’s (because screw the Brosnan movies), so to finally get one is really a nice bit of variety at this stage; and by the same token, the film’s commitment to the arthouse aesthetic (Hoyte van Hoytema delivers some gorgeous and dynamic images) of the Craig Era movies makes it feel faithful to both those movies and the early 60’s entries. However, I am a rather esoteric type of Bond fan, so perhaps this is a Bond movie designed solely for a specific audience. That would account for the rather frosty reception.
And no, I did not like Sam Smith's song either.
